that's weird! what temp did you have it on??  Just soak it with some vinegar and warm water for a while, then gently scrub it with a soft scourer (those plastic kind of ones, or an old green scrubbing mat thingy - can't remember what they're called!!)  It should come off.

thanks will try that now

Scotchbrite Jo?

[quirkycooking]

Those thin green scouring pads, rectangular shape... I think the scotchbrite ones are a bit tough, aren't they?  I just buy homebrand, and they get a bit soft after you use them a time or two, then they're perfect for the tmx - won't scratch it.

the vinegar worked , I used a piece of plastic thing that helps you open jars and things, to scrub it clean   like the  mat you put under the cutting board so it does not move, did I confuse you   

[judydawn]

Know exactly what you mean fundj - you described it well    Glad your bowl is finally clean.

Being the queen of cleaning burnt saucepans (as a result of the cherubs in home economics classes thinking that a high heat will help them finish cooking earlier than anyone else in the class), I have found bicarb soda the perfect solution.  Add water and bicarb to the saucepan (or TMX in this case), either heat it if the residue is badly burnt and let soak or just let soak.

Is there a better recipe for yoghurt them?  Should I avoid the EDC one?

[fundj&e]

I clean my TM with bicarb once a week, I panicked today and my mind went blank

A friend of mine has a book about the many uses for vinegar. I was speaking to her one day when I badly burnt (and I mean really, really badly burnt the bottom of a saucepan, it was black and a throwaway job ! Anyhow it said in the book use 1 part vinegar to one part water in the saucepan, bring to the boil and then switch it off and leave overnight. Well I did that and the next morning it scraped off really easily with a plastic spatula.  I was amazed actually.  Would of course work the same in the TMX.

I find even just heating water with washing up liquid for 4 mins brings off most burnt on bits, if it's worse then bicarb or vinegar.

[quirkycooking]

Well that's good you sorted it out!  But I'm still puzzled as to why the yoghurt burnt???  You didn't use 100 degrees did you?  I've never had it do that with the EDC recipe, it should work fine.  Anyone else had 'burnt yoghurt'??  (Sounds funny, doesn't it!)

The only thing  is while I was weighing the milk powder I thought it was a lot I am about to weigh it on my scales now

I did the vinegar and dishwashing liquid thing at the beginning of the EDC as my bowl was getting some weird stains on the bottom. After the 1 hour of vinegar stirring, it has come up shiny and new. I just rinsed it out  a couple of times with warm water and used a plastic scourer pad. i sometimes find the scourer is not enough to remove everything. I  also give the bowl a great big soaking straight after using it for anything.
